EDITOR’S CORNER

I just spent 7 days in sunny Phoenix AZ with my family visiting all the local sites – Grand Canyon, Meteor Crater, Sedona, Phoenix Zoo (I had my granddaughter with us). In our travels of over 1200 miles of scenic roads, not one British car did I see!

Now we did travel in a minivan for these excursions but I did have the opportunity to drive a few miles in my cousin’s Tesla Model S P85D Sedan. What a car – talk about acceleration! I punched that baby to 80 MPH in nothing flat – talk about whiplash! I understand that the first repairs needed are tire replacement because of the traction on acceleration. No oil changes needed.

See you on the road…
